How to Master Manifestation | Wayne Dyer's Wisdom in 36 Minutes

Wayne Dyer fields calls from listeners facing obstacles: a failing alpaca-sweater business, postpartum anxiety, chronic lung disease. He argues that manifestation requires unwavering belief paired with detachment from outcomes, and that setbacks are information, not failure. Serve others to dissolve ego.
Chapters
Your obstacles aren't blocking you, they're guiding you. Many people think tough times mean they're doing something wrong, but what if those challenges are actually helping you find your true path? How you see your problems can change your entire life. In this radio show, Wayne Dyer teaches that if you hold onto your vision with total belief, nothing can truly stop you. Let go of worrying about the outcome, replace your doubts with powerful faith, and choose to see setbacks as helpful signs not punishments. When you align your thoughts with strong belief, your toughest challenges become your greatest opportunities.

Hello everybody, and welcome to today's show, Excuses Be Gone with Dr. Wayne Dyer. You know, I wanted to bring up, uh, you have on your blog just a really interesting post about reinventing your holidays, and you had some great affirmations on here to kind of help people make attitude adjustments a little bit over the holiday season, and some of them were really great. "I'll let the holidays flow rather than trying to make them fit into a fixed schedule." I love that one. "I'll remember that people are more important than things." That's a good one too.
Than the dates and the times and all of the obligations and all the deadlines. It's about people. It's about just love.
And I like this one too: I'm going to approach the holidays with a sense of joyful anticipation and wonder, just like I did when I was a child.
Yeah, let that little kid inside of you just enjoy the holidays, because when, you know, I listen to my grandkids talking about Christmas and they just can't— they think it's gonna, you know, take about 20 years to get here. They just can't believe it's not here. Every morning it's like, is it here? Is it here? Is it here? And, you know, most of the adults are saying it's just getting here too fast. It's like total reversal of, you know, of attitude.
Yeah, we really need to make that adjustment over the holidays, I think, and just kind of think like a child would think, be excited and happy and enjoy the company and the good food, the eggnog, all the other good stuff that goes along with it. But let's go to the callers and let's start with Brian calling from Los Angeles today. He's on line 1. and I'd like to welcome him to the show. Thanks for calling, Brian.
Hi, Diane, and hi, Dr. Dyer. It's great to speak to you.
Thank you. How are you, my friend?
I'm great, thanks. We spoke last June. We agreed we were pals, and we talked to our higher selves out loud when people—
oh, I remember that.
People look at me crazy a little bit sometimes.
Well, that's just part of the deal, my friend.
Uh, Dr. Dyer, first of all, I would like to, um, for 10— since 1999, I have been working on a project. I developed with Peruvian manufacturers a new way of using a class of alpaca called Royal Alpaca and design and manufacture a sweater collection which is completely my baby. And first of all, I would like to offer— I would like to have a Christmas gift for you and Diane of one of my sweaters because I have noticed, Dr. Dyer, that you wear sweaters a lot in your presentations and when you're—
I do.
And also too, I've noticed your new very svelte body.
Well, thank you for noticing.
I think you would be a great model for my handsome sweaters. And I can put you on my— well, you're a movie star now, so I can put you on my Hollywood celebrity famous people who wear my sweaters thing in my press kit.
I love this guy. A svelte movie star.
Yeah, there you go.
I don't hear this from my kids, believe me. They still tell me I'm fat.
What size you are now. The gentleman told me to just send it to the station and everything, you know, to, to get it, but I had no idea whether you— what, what you thought might be your size.
I don't know, a large, extra large, extra large.
I think you probably—
yeah.
How tall are you, Dr. Dye? Are you 6'2"?
6'2" approximately.
Okay, so you and I are about the same height.
All right, great.
So, um, and Diane, what about you? What's your husband or whoever man in your life?
He was— he's definitely, I'd say, extra large.
Okay, great.
All right, so listen, we have been through all of the traditional means of funding this thing. I've been in— at our height, we were in 50 top stores around the US, and now we kind of are dead in the water. And I've done all the traditional ways, I mean, and non— and creative ways and everything. And now we've got a website where we're, um, so we've got about 2,500 sweaters left in our inventory, and if we sell them all, we're going to have the funds to move the business forward. And so, you know, I was hoping maybe I could mention my website, but also I wanted to just quickly ask you, when you come up against challenges after challenges after challenges on a project like this, and By the way, the sweaters are really, really fine, beautiful, top-notch sweaters. How do you know when it's just a matter of trying something new and getting it right and keep pivoting and pivoting or whether you're just not on the right path? I mean, how do you—
It's a good question and the answer for me is very simple. You just never give up. I mean, it's like Winston Churchill, you just, you know, it's like his speech after World War II. You just never give up. If you have a vision about something that you would like to attract into your life, or a business that you want to make, or whatever, and you hang on to that vision, and that vision won't leave, you know, I've had that in my life my whole life. And everybody says, well, that's not the right person for you, or that's not the right thing to do, or try something else. But the vision won't go away. That vision is really God speaking to you, or drawing a picture of who you are and what you're supposed to be doing. The question isn't whether you give up on the vision. The question becomes, you know, am I really aligned with this thing or not? And what I'm hearing from you— it's Brian, right?
Yes.
What I'm hearing, Brian, is that you have the intention, but you don't have the conviction. And I don't mean this to be critical, but intention is one thing. An intention to have something is like you place your attention on it, you put it in your imagination, you live from the end. You do all of the things that I talk about, uh, you know, all the time. But intention without conviction— if you are thinking, I'm not doing well at this, this isn't going well, I'm not selling them the way I want, the business isn't the way I want— what you're re— what's really happening for you is that you are— your conviction is that this isn't going to work out. You know, your faith says, uh, yes. I mean, your intention says, yes, I want to have this. But your faith is questioned with because the results aren't coming in the way that you want them to. And every single piece of information that you get about how you're promoting your sweaters and doing your business and so on is information for you. It's not a judgment, it's not a failure, it's not something that's wrong. It's just information. So you do this— what you've done here today is one example of it. I'm going to give you a website of my daughter. Her name is Tracy.
Yes.
And she has, uh, manufactured— she's done very much like what you've done, only she's done it with bags. And her website is urbanjunket.com. It's just Tracy at urbanjunket.com. Contact her. Call her up on the phone because she's been at that place and now her business is totally thriving. And I've talked to her about this over and over and over again. It's like intention with conviction says this is not only going to work out, it's working out right now. In my imagination, this thing is going the way I want it to go.
Dr. Dyer, I don't mean to cut you off. I hear you. I just want to get this one thing, and I hear you completely. I think what it is with me is I've been doing this for so long and I've been through so many highs and lows with it that I think, I guess I just begin to wonder if the universe is trying to tell me something.
No, the universe is— yeah, it's because you're attached to the outcome. Remember what you've heard me— I know you've listened to my tapes and you've been on radio shows and so on. Detachment from outcome is the most important thing that you can have. That's what self-actualizing people do. You are getting so much joy out of this. You've created a great product. So many people have complimented you on it. And instead of seeing yourself— I've been thinking a lot about that. I think this is a common thing for a lot of people is that they get impatient with it. It's like detaching yourself from outcome and knowing that everything that comes back to you, whether you might call it failure or it's not working out and so on, It's just for the persistent person who has an intention with conviction, those are just— they're not even challenges. They're just opportunities to, you know, to get even more involved in the process of making it happen. I mean, you're listening to a guy, Brian, who when he wrote his first book, you know, bought up the first 4 printings himself, took them across the country in a station wagon for 2 years and distributed them all himself. When I started out on PBS, I went to every single market in the country at my own expense, staying in hotels and so on, and getting paid nothing for any of it because it was something that I strongly believed in. And, you know, made 177 station visits on PBS. Nobody's ever done such a thing.
I know.
You inspire me so much. I think really more than anything, I just called because I knew talking to you would regenerate my batteries.
And, uh, you've heard me tell the story probably before, but I'll tell it again, of Thomas Edison. When he was working on inventing a light bulb, and he had tried this and he had tried that and he had tried— and the legend says that he had tried 25,000 different combinations and he still didn't have the light bulb. I'm sure you've heard the story. And someone came up and said, how does it feel, someone of your stature, to have failed 25,000 times? And he said, I don't know what you're talking about. He said, today, what I know, 25,000 ways not to make a light bulb.
Fantastic.
You know 6,000 ways not to promote your business, so you don't do those anymore. Give us your website. I can't wait to wear your sweater. What color are you going to send me? I am a spelt movie star with beautiful blue eyes.
Maybe Diane can quickly look and you tell me the color. Yes, I know you are. I think it better be blue.
I'll have Diane pick it out. Diane, I'll give you my address here on Maui.
Great. It's www. Watson Knits with an S. W-A-T-S-O-N-K-N-I-T-S.com.
Watsonknits.com. Yeah, get out there, help this man. You know, he's begging, he's crying, he's giving me all this stuff. Give him a Christmas present. He's got beautiful Christmas presents. Everybody call him, 50% off. Tell him you caught the Wayne Dyer Show and his business is going to be thriving and he'll stop being a pain in the ass that he is. I love him anyway.
Thank you so much.
Okay, take care. God bless you.
Thank you.
All right, bye.
So we'll have a sweater coming to you.
Yeah, Diane, after the— maybe you can get his, uh, give him my address.
Sure, we'll get his information. And you know, I have to go to this next call now because since, you know, the cat's out of the bag that you're the— you're a movie star now, and a svelte one at that.
I'm not that svelte.
No, you're looking, uh, you're looking svelte these days for sure, right?
Uh, let's go to Travis.
Uh, he's an actor, and I know Dr. Dyer You know a lot of friends in the business and dealing with ego, and I just think that's an interesting thing to address. So let's bring him on. Travis on line 3.
Hey, how are you, Dr. Dyer?
I'm great. Couldn't be better. How are you?
I'm very well, thank you. And yes, you are very smart, my friend.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you. You're welcome. You're welcome.
Hey, listen, I saw The Shift.
Good.
And it was fantastic.
Thank you.
It was fantastic. I've done some films myself, and mostly I've been doing— I've been at it for about 10 years professionally now, doing films and commercial, mostly commercial work and stuff like that. And I just started reading your books, and I've been checking out all of the podcasts and all that stuff and talking to people that do seminars and stuff like that, and, and everybody has high comments for you. And I am really enjoying what you're talking about. I've been manifesting all kinds of great stuff in my life. I have also been meditating. I started to meditate last week, as a matter of fact, every day with the ahs and the ohms and everything like that. In fact, yesterday I was meditating in the morning and my John Coltrane poster flew right off my wall. Really? Yeah, it was pretty crazy, man. It scared me.
Those things happen. Don't think that those are accidents either. There's a very high energy in that japa meditation, believe me.
Yeah, you know, I was right in the middle of an ah, and it just like went boom, and I was like, uh, what was that?
Pay attention.
Yes, absolutely. And I— my question for you is, how do I keep myself from edging God out, from he from ego, with all of the hubbub and all of the ego-driven Hollywood that is. I'm kind of having a hard time with that. I don't necessarily know how I should go about it, or do you have any words for them?
I don't have any secrets for it. The answer to it is to— the things that you want for yourself, that your ego wants, the fame, the money, the prestige, the awards, whatever it might be that are part of the whole profession that you're in. Want those things, that inner satisfaction, that joy, that excitement, that feeling of having accomplished something, the feeling of being recognized.
Yeah, absolutely.
I love it.
It gets me up in the morning. I love, you know, I do improv on a weekly basis. I just love it so much.
Here's the key. Want that more for other people than you do for yourself and act that way. Just want that, whatever joy that is, for whoever you meet. The next time you sit down at a table to have dinner, want what you want from the joy that you feel in acting and in improv and so on. Want it for that waiter. When you stay in a hotel room and a lady from Mexico comes in there and cleans your toilets and so on, want it more for her and make her feel as important as you want to feel yourself. In other words, take the attention off of you and place it on others because our ego is the part of us that really has come to believe that who we are is better than and more important than and so on. Begin to do that, which is the way I live my life. Finding joy in serving others. Even as you apply that to your acting, it will make you a better actor. When you get out of, "How am I doing? I wonder if they're going to like me. I wonder if I'm doing my lines right." All of the things that you might be thinking about. It was like when I made the shift, it took me about a week of being on that film set to make the shift myself. And I remember when I was doing one of the scenes that I was doing, it finally hit me, I wrote this. I don't have to follow the lines that anybody else has written. I just have to be myself. I just have to whatever it is that I'm— and I let go of all of my attachment to the outcome and how well I'm doing and whether I'm up there with people like Portia de Rossi and Michael DeLuise and so many of these people are very famous actors.
They were all fantastic, by the way.
Yeah, everybody in that film is just unbelievable. We just showed it here on Maui last week to outdoors under the stars. Uh, we showed it to— it was just beautiful. And the people— that film gets better every time I watch it. It gets better.
You know, I've, I've seen, I've seen a lot of, uh, films. I, I'm a movie hound myself, and you know, it was really well done. The cinematography was beautiful.
Yeah, I mean, it was really—
everything about this movie was just really, really well done.
And I said that to Michael and to Reed, Reed Tracy, who's the executive producer, and Michael Gourjon, who's the director. I do not want to be a part of a film that looks like an amateur production by somebody who just wants to be in the movies, who's written a bunch of books, because there's a lot of movies like that out there from people who have written these kind of things, and the movies are amateur looking. I want this to be a classic. And just like the call that came before, when Brian— I don't know if you heard Brian on this.
Yes, I did.
I'm doing the same thing with this film. I'm not sitting here saying, oh my God, it's not at the top of the bestseller list, and it's not in the theaters, and it's not this, and it's not that. I just continuously have a knowing that I believe in so strongly, and everybody that I encounter— if you were to walk up to me on the beach here in Maui and say hello to me, I would say, "What hotel are you staying in? What room are you in?" And that night I would walk by and I would put a movie on your door. I've done it hundreds and hundreds of times. And Hay House sends me the films to do this with. And every single person that I meet, I give them a film and I say, "Don't keep it in your library after you've watched it. Pass it along or watch it again." And I will have 10 million people watch it. And it doesn't make any— there's no way that I could think of this thing as ever being a failure. I think it's one of the greatest things I've ever been associated with. And it's that internal kind of knowing. And it's not about me and being a movie star, and we're joking about all of those things. It's really about being aligned with your purpose of really making an impact and helping to shift the consciousness of this planet so that we can save it. That's basically what it's all about. Because I don't need any more money, and I don't need any more fame, and I don't need— you know, I've done all of that. It's just that attachment. It's that connection to an inner sense of, "This is my purpose. This is what I'm here about." And that's what I would say to you about getting rid of your ego. Do it for others. Do it for others rather than yourself.
Do it for others. Okay, cool. I'd like you to visit my website if you have a chance, man.
Give us— go ahead, give it to me.
Yeah, it's Travis Greer, G-R-E-E-R. That's Travis Greer. Travis@travisjohnson.net.
Okay, Travis. All right, got it. Thanks. Thank you very much. We're going to send you another copy of the movie. God bless you. Namaste.
All right, God bless you too.
Thanks.
And hold on, Travis, not only that, he'll get the extended, uh, 2-disc set.
That's right.
So he'll be happy with that. That's got some added, uh, features on there too.
It has another extra hour on it. Yeah.
So, uh, for our next call, let's head to, uh, the wintry, uh, great white north here of Windsor, Ontario, and go to line 4. And we'll talk to Krista.
Hi. Hi Krista, how are things in Windsor? That's right next— right across the river from where I grew up.
Oh really? Oh yeah, you grew up in Detroit, didn't you?
I did, and Windsor— do you know the one thing about Windsor that is unique in all of the geographic world? What? It is the only place when you leave the United States and you travel south to get to Canada.
Yes, it's true.
It's south of Detroit. Most people don't know that because it hooks around there. How are you, my dear? Just a little trivia there. A little trivia for you today.
I love it.
Thank you so much. I can't believe I'm on the call with you right now. I've gone through a really, really, really challenging, the most challenging 4 months of my life, actually.
Congratulations.
Thank you, I guess.
Well, you said you've gone through them. At least it didn't take you away, right?
Well, today I sort of had another bad moment. I've been really struggling with, if we need to label it, I guess like a postpartum anxiety kind of thing happening. And I have a crazy, crazy irrational fear that keeps on coming up and kind of coming up in all kinds of different forms to scare me to pieces. And I've gone so many different roads. I've gone everything from talking to priests to you know, listening to Hay House radio every day, to energy healers once a week, and hypnotherapy, and I just feel like frustrated, and I just feel like I get to this feeling of just, I feel broken, and just, um, okay, I'm just gonna have to watch the time.
You just said how— you just had a baby, is that correct?
Yeah, um, he's almost 5 months old.
Okay, and what is this picture that you have? How is he? How is he? What's his name?
His name is Curtis and he's beautiful and he just, he definitely hasn't added to the stress, that's for sure. He's amazing.
Okay, so what is the problem?
So it's this irrational fear that keeps on repeating over and over again, but it has nothing to do with Curtis and it's just so crazy, but it's the scariest thing in the world.
What is the fear? Tell me the fear. What is the fear?
See, I feel embarrassed to say it on the radio, but—
Well, say it anyway.
Okay, so it's a fear of contracting or have contracted HIV. And I've been through probably about 30 tests in the last couple years. And just after Curtis was born, it just blew into full-blown crazy hysteria where I'm thinking every— I can't even like live my day. I'm thinking of every crazy possibility.
And this is because you had unprotected sex? Is that—
I guess, but I've been like with my amazing partner for, for 7 years, and we've both been monogamous and there's no fear there. So I, I, it's like this, this thing that got stuck that won't go away.
Yeah. And you've been tested and it comes up back negative?
Yep.
And you have no symptoms of any kind? No, no, it's just, it's kind of, it's just, uh, so you're just, you're just crazy?
I'm just crazy.
You're just acting crazy. I mean, it's like, uh, why? And, and the fact is, why in the world would you want to put those kinds of thoughts into your head? And secondly, Even if it were true, even if it were absolutely true, it's just not a big deal anymore, you know. I mean, it's, uh, you know, I know many, many people who have HIV who live long, long lives. It's not a death sentence. It's not. But putting that all aside, what is that about that you feel that you are contracting something that, uh, it's impossible for you to have contracted? If you had it, you would know it. So what you do is you just let go of that and you just say, thank you, God, for my body that I have and for the health that I have. And, uh, and I will— I refuse any longer. Your thoughts are really like— they're like at the bottom of the screen, you know, when you watch the stock market prices go by. They just go by, go by, go by. There's another thought, another thought, another thought. Every time you have that thought, put it back on the screen and pick a different one. Pick another thought. Pick a thought that says, I am healthy, I am strong, and I will never contract anything that is going to be destructive to me or to my baby.
Okay, so that doesn't mean anything. I don't need to, like, worry about that idea?
No, not at all. It means absolutely nothing. It's just your craziness inside and just decide you're not going to be crazy anymore.
Thank you.
You're welcome. God bless.
And Dr. Dyer, I was just thinking during the break about our last caller, and I remember when my sister had my little nephew, little Lorenzo, and she was thinking all these crazy irrational fears, much like Krista was, and afraid that something was going to happen to him or that she would unintentionally hurt him. And it was really upsetting to her to have these thoughts. And I think that's where Louise's affirmations and just replacing that thought with something else was really helpful. And I had her repeat Louise's affirmation: "All is well. Everything is working out for the greater good. Out of this situation, only good will come. I am safe." And she just kept repeating that whenever she got the irrational fear. And you can't think the two thoughts at once, the irrational one and the other one. It really helps.
Amma, thank you for sharing that because that kind of thinking, I mean, it's habitual kind of sort of pessimistic kind of way of looking at life. And you know, you always want to see the world in the most positive way and believe that you're not in a world that is, you're not in a universe that is out to hurt and harm you and destroy you. You're in a universe that is supportive. You know, it just depends, that's what Einstein said, is the most important decision you'll ever make is to decide What kind of a world do you live in? Do you live in one that supports you or the one that was trying to harm you? And if you believe you live in a universe that's trying to harm you, you'll come up with all kinds of internal reasons to substantiate that. If, on the other hand, you believe you live in a universe that's supportive and helpful and loving and kind, then you'll look for evidence to support that. So that's a very good point. I'm glad you brought it up. Thanks. And good luck to you, Crystal.
Yes, definitely. And let's get a few more calls here while we have time and go to Jennifer. She's on line 7, calling from Chicago today.
Hello.
Hi, Jennifer. Hi, Dr. Dyer.
I'm thrilled to talk to you.
Me too.
And I'm thrilled that you're writing the book Wishes Fulfilled because I remember you mentioned it about a year ago and I was so excited. You had been maybe inspired by Neville, and I was— he's one of my favorite authors too.
And is he?
Oh, I would love to hear your spin on it. So I'm excited.
Well, the interesting thing about Neville is that, you know, you can read it and it's— a lot of people have a great deal of difficulty in understanding it.
Yeah, I think it's very, very clear, but, uh, I read it over over and over. I just flip open to a page and just—
I do too.
They do the same thing.
Yeah, so I'm doing that. And also U.S. Anderson. I don't know if you've ever read him, The Three Magic Words.
No.
Yeah, that's a— Three Magic Words. You might look that book up.
Okay.
He's like that as well. But yeah, I just started it yesterday and I'm just— I already know what the chapter titles are. And it's really about manifesting, but it's really about understanding The power of your imagination and the power of your feelings, that you're capable of attracting anything. That's how I started it out. So it's a fun time for me now when the writing is one of the great joys of my life. Well, what's on your mind?
I have a— I hate to just break into it like this, but I'll try to be really succinct. I have a lung disease, and it's been a tough journey, but actually it has a lot of blessings in it. If I hadn't had it, I would never have come across this whole way of life of understanding about the imagination and about, you know, intention and just— oh, I knew nothing about any of this, and I came across your work and Abraham and all of these wonderful authors about 3 years ago, and I fully understand the body's ability to heal and that it's natural to be well and that dis-ease is really just, you know, that not allowing the wellness that's already there. But just recently I've decided that I need to kind of embrace the medical field too. I, I took some time away from doctors and I need to start going down a journey where I'm co-creating with the doctors, I think, because it's just too much pressure on myself. I have a 10-year-old son and I want to be active and everything with him, and, and I'm at this stage in my life, I'm very limited, and so I need to to start looking at maybe getting a lung transplant. And, and I feel really good about that decision, but it's just a very recent decision that my husband and I have, you know, decided we're going to go ahead and embrace that. And in fact, I'll be seeing a doctor tomorrow for the first time in 3 years.
So are you familiar with the Perfect Gene Diet that I have been talking about with Pam McDonald?
I've heard you talk about it. I have not read anything.
I'd like you to contact her. She's out in California. She works with She's a nurse practitioner, but she's very much involved in allopathic medicine and the medical model, but also in multidimensional approaches to healing and so on. I think she might be a really good person for you to become familiar with. I know it's such a— when I think about a lung transplant and all of that and the power of positive thinking and all of these kinds of things, and miracles happen. I really truly completely believe that. I completely, totally believe in that. I've seen it happen for myself. I talked about it in the film for myself. And more recently, even with my leukemia, I mean, I have been sending this leukemia into a different place in my life. And I've been doing it through consciousness, through diet, through inner awareness. And yet I still, I go to an oncologist. I don't deny anything out there and say that there's only one approach to doing anything. I think you've got, you're doing the right thing. But don't give up on the idea that you can create a miracle for yourself.
No, and I thought, you know, I can use everything that I've been learning and just try to make this just the most smooth and easy process, however it turns out.
Right.
But to not— I was so resistant to even seeing a doctor. I thought, I can do this. And I realized I have to let go of that resistance and just see what opens up by You know, but still feeling that I'm more empowered this time around. Yeah, exactly.
And I think the other thing, Jennifer, and I think this is really important, is to come to grips with your own death. You know?
Yeah.
With your body. I mean, not your own death itself, but I mean with the real awareness that who you are can never die. Right. And I mean, like, getting really, really peaceful with that. And I think the more peaceful you get with that, that you are an infinite, you know, spiritual being having a temporary human experience. And that everything that materializes dematerializes. Everything. There's no exception to that. And nobody gets to escape that, you know. And whatever it is— and there's no right time for us. Like, the moment that you were conceived, your death was in there. So you almost get yourself to a place where you're not worried and you're not fearful, you're not anxious, and you're just saying, okay, I'm going to let my body go through whatever. I'm going to feed it well. I'm going to, you know, I'm going to exercise it well. I'm going to meditate on it. And that— those are all things I'm going to But I'm going to give up the fear, give up the worry, and give up the anxiety. And just, you know, I mean, you know what, such a beautiful example of that was just with Elizabeth Edwards just a few days ago. You know who I'm talking about, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, with her breast cancer and who just passed away and so on. And she was a young woman, but it was like we get these kinds of ideas in our head that, you know, how long we're supposed to live and what we can do. And so much of the stress, and even with your lung disease, might be sort of a subconscious kind of worry and fear about having a 10-year-old and having to leave them or whatever.
Right, yeah.
And if you let go of that, I think your body can get in a much better place for healing and might do it just spontaneously.
Yeah.
If you just say, "Okay, God, I surrender. I'm not afraid. I'll join you when I'm supposed to." Yeah. And I've kind of done that with my leukemia. More people— I got people coming to me about every healing technique there is in the world. Yeah. You can't imagine. And I got people right after that After the radio show, I've got a lady from New Zealand who's a Maori healer, and they come over. I have them come over. I'm interested in it. It's kind of fun, but I'm not living with anxiety. More people are concerned about my leukemia than I am. Yeah, I just go on and I just take every day and say thank you for this beautiful day. And I've gotten myself doing a lot more healthier things than I've ever done before. I make these wonderful green smoothies every day, which I would really recommend to you, by the way, and to everyone out there. Yeah, it's like, uh, you know, you get a bit— one of these Vitablenders things and you just put fruits and vegetables in there and you're eating raw foods. And boy, what a difference it's made in my life.
Yeah.
Anyway, all right, I send you love. I send you healing. I guess I just want to say less anxiety.
Yes.
And an openness and a knowing. And absolutely, you know, this is— you're a fan of Neville. It's like, here, here it is. You place in your imagination exactly what it is that you want your body to be And then you live from that place. And when you live from that place, you're saying, I am God in action. I am healing. Not I'm hoping that God will do something for me, but I have that within me, this power in me. I am a piece of God. And just walk through your days knowing that the highest place within you is God himself or herself.
Yes.
Beautiful.
Okay.
All right. Thank you so much.
Keep me posted. God bless you, dear.
Thank you.
Okay. Take care.
And I think we have time for one more. We'll squeeze one in.
Okay.
Let's go now to New York to Janet. In Nyack, New York on line 2. And thanks for your patience, Janet. You're on with Dr. Dyer.
Oh my God, I cannot believe I'm talking to both of you. I love, love, love you, Dr. Wayne Dyer and Diane. You are amazing too.
How—
oh, thank you.
Wow, that's so sweet.
I am so happy.
This is like the best day of my life.
Uh, thank you, Janet.
Oh my God, I love you. Oh, I love, love, love you. You've changed my life, but my life hasn't changed. I have.
Oh, that's so nice. I love you too, dear. What are you doing in Nyack?
Um, a little bit of everything, but I'm calling because, Dr. Dyer, I had a job and I knew it wasn't fulfilling my purpose. Very hostile environment, just not me. I remember the first day they said, how do you feel? I said enthusiastic. Someone told me, well, don't be, and that was my boss.
That was your boss, right?
Yeah. So I left that job thinking, of course I'll teach again, and that You know, that's my purpose. I love children and all of that. But I was unemployed for a year and a half, and the only job I could get back was the same one. And it's even worse now— less pay, more hostility. And I just— I know that you say that everything has a purpose, and that's what I keep going by, because I've been so anxious— anxiety and everything. I know everything should be happening, but it's so hard.
Listen, listen to me, sweetheart, in Nyack. What is your first name? Janet.
Janet.
Yeah. Your mission in the next 2 weeks is to turn the environment around where you work.
I work from home too.
Okay. Then whatever environment you have been talking about, it is your mission to shift that, to make that a glorious, peaceful— and I don't care how much grief or how much anxiety or stress or whatever it is that you feel coming at you, you respond to it with nothing but love and kindness and joy and always thinking in the back of your mind, I am going to turn this person around, this situation around, this circumstance around, these events around. I'm going to turn it around because I am God in action. I am not, you know, somebody who is here to be victimized, who is here to be abused, who is here to make low pay. Your pay is going to increase. You're going to feel better. You're going to make this a joyful experience. That's why you keep coming back to it until you get it. You know, it's like, and once you Yeah, and once you get it that this thing cannot control you, that's what you have to learn at this point right now. Nothing external to yourself can control you. You're too much focused on the outer and not enough focused on the inner. If I went to a job that they said don't be enthusiastic and there was a hostile environment in there, my first thought would be, I'm going to turn this whole place around. I'm going to make this the most joyful, happy experience and nobody's going to get me down no matter what. Ultimately, then you'll know why you're not supposed to be there any longer, once you've made that conversion. And when you come to terms—
Well, last week for the first time they made up something. They said I didn't do something and I totally did. They were coming at me in a meeting in front of other people and for the first time I didn't defend myself. I thought of you. Instead of being right, just be kind and let them have it. I'm not going to return that anymore. But that's huge for me. I used to be very defensive.
Yeah, well, most of us are because our egos get bruised so easily and we immediately begin to believe, you know, it isn't right, it isn't fair, it isn't this. I have a friend, Carrie, that I see a lot and she's finishing up her nursing program. In fact, she graduates this Friday and it's been one year of teaching, two years of teaching her every day. Not your goal is not to reform that program. Your goal is to get through it and enjoy it and to make it a happy, joyful experience. You're a nurse. You're healing people. Be grateful for that, and that's what you want to keep your focus on.
Oh, thank you so much.
Okay, we got to go away.
Do you see anything for me real quick?
I see great things for you, wonderful things in Nyack, Janet. Not wonderful things, including a movie that's coming your way. Great things are coming your way. Oh, thank you, Dr. Dyer.
I love you.
Big hug for you. God bless you and Merry Christmas.
And congratulations, you're one video closer to who you're meant to be. For some more incredible Wayne Dyer videos, check it out right there next to me. I think you'll love them. Continue to believe, and I'll see you there.
Dr. Wayne Dyer joins us in Maui, and you are alive, right?
So I don't know, I think so. Me and L. Ron Hubbard, we just keep writing books.
Oh no, no, it's good to hear your voice. I hope you had a great weekend.
